Three types of apps that will make use of the new features on the IPhone 4
There is a lot of excitement going on since the IPhone 4 is about to be released. There are sure to be lines around the block when this phone is ready to be shown to the public. Apple is promising a lot of new hardware features that people are sure to love. But it is not only the hardware features that will make this phone special. Some of the software additions to the phone’s operating system will take the IPhone to a new level as well. Third party developers will be able to take these features and create new and exciting software with them. Let’s go over the three types of apps that will be possible because of the new additions to the IPhone 4.
One of the most exciting features that were announced to be on the phone was the new gyroscope. In earlier releases, the phone had what was called an accelerometer. That allowed the phone to be able to measure its own acceleration. Now they have added a three axis gyroscope to the mix. This will not only allow the phone to be able to see the speed linearly, but also the rotation and angular motions as well. This means that the phone will be able to know where it is at in relation to your body at all times. Games are the main type of app that will take advantage of these features. Some other applications will be able to use these features as well but games will be the main one.
Another new feature for the IPhone 4 is the fact that it has an extremely higher resolution. Apple has really concentrated on this and they even gave it a name. It is called the Retina Display. The apps that will take advantage of this new feature is anything that involves watching videos. Another app that will take advantage of this new screen will be the new video chat software. Apple has decided that they were going to place a camera on both the front of the phone and in the back. This will allow people to be able to video chat whenever they want to. The new Retina Display will make video chatting look even better.
The last new feature that we will be discussing is multi-tasking. We saved this for last because all of the apps that are on the phone will be able to take advantage of this. Anytime someone needs to be able to use another app but keep the app that they were using at the time on, this will come in handy. Multi-tasking is a feature that has been sorely missed from the IPhone and now it is finally hear. As we said, we cannot name one particular type of app that will be able to use this feature because they all should be able to benefit from it.
The IPhone 4 has come a long way in regards to features both on the software and the hardware side. The other phones that were out on the market were starting to catch up with the older IPhone but with this new one, Apple will be able to rest comfortably with the lead.
